I used the high-speed train last week, for the first time, as the place I was going too didn't have an airport...the station was HUGE - as big as many airports...
The 'queues' were equally huge - look at the photo - the 'queue' for the 'gate' on the left just merges with the one on the right, for the gate opposite!!!
The trains themselves were fab - up to 180mph, but so smooth & quiet - makes ours in Britian feel like Thomas the Tank Engine! Richard Branson, get these babies bought & stop spending money on fecking space rockets!! People want to go from Manchester to London, not Arizona to Mars!!
Mind, when I got on, some cheeky sod was sat in my seat - had to fling him out on his way. Even a first-class only cost a tenner, so well worth it - and I sent Cheeky Chang Chung back to cattle class, where he belonged...
One has standards...
